...Grand Theft Auto 5 and Bioshock Infinite. Two larger than life games made by the programmers of legend. I know this is still 2012 and neither game is out but it is most likely that one of these two is guaranteed game if the year as both are one of the most critically acclaimed games of all time. So what game do you think deserves to be game of the year: Grand Theft Auto 5 or Bioshock Infinite?

It'll probably be rewarded to whatever crap game the Call of Duty franchise regurgitates in like 4 months time.

Edit: Come on Coma, we could have had a STP!

This is true as grand theft auto is probably the only game that's bigger than cod but bioshock is still the second highest rated game on metacritic. This one isnt going to have multiplayer so you know the single player is going to be amazing.

See, when you're talking Game of the Year, people get confused. Some see it as top sales, others as which game serves on its own merit. The Spike VGAs are run by the former, as well as advertising dollars from EA.

We all know McDonald's is going to outsell five star fine dining by an order of magnitude, but that doesn't make it a better product, just more accessible.

GTA V is going to be way bigger than Bioshock Infinite. I don't think there's any question about it.

In terms of Game of the Year, most sites really don't give a f*** about which game is more popular. Demon's Souls won for man sites a few years back, and not to many people ever heard of that game back then. It doesn't matter, they'll both be great games. Topics like these are only born from insecurity.
